Blogging Yourself Healthy | #HealthHour no. 5

The latest #HealthHour chat was about blogging & health.

Does blogging help you stay motivated? Does health bloggers inspire or demotivate you? Let’s find out!

If you’re new to #HealthHour it’s a Twitter chat about living a healthy lifestyle with a focus on physical and mental well-being rather than weight loss and restriction. It’s at Mondays 8 PM (UK TIME), usually hosted by me, @Annesmiless, and a great way to connect with new friends who are on the same journey as you!

The following will be a recap of some of the answers in case you missed the that or don’t have a Twitter. You are very welcome to leave your answers in the comments. Otherwise, I hope you can learn something from the other guys’ answers! 🙂

@annesmiless A1 I try to, but a lot have also that little twist with some unhealthy habits and then I’ll try to avoid them … #HealthHour
